Visit: Lotte Mart, Seoul Station

It's always an amazing adventure to visit a foreign country's supermarket.

There's tons of food to hunt for and be curious about. I decided that to share some of my favourites! :)

Most photos credited to lotte mart online shopping website.

1) 쌀 (ssal) = uncooked rice)  -> 밥 (bap) = cooked rice
I'm not sure about the other countries but in Singapore, it's extremely expensive and difficult to get good rice mix. There are many different choices but I have put the photo of rice I bought myself :D
I dug out the content list from the mart: 연화현미, 찹쌀, 현미찹쌀, 보리, 검정찰현미, 백태, 옥수수쌀, 찰보리쌀, 차수수쌀, 녹차압맥, 서리태, 팥, 율무쌀, 늘찰보리, 발아현미, 강낭콩
It's going to be really tough for me to translate everything and I think google translate may be accurate. So, just to list some that I can understand: corn, barley, kidney beans and of course, brown rice! :)

2)  빙그레 바나나맛우유 (bing ge rae banana mak wu yu)

This banana-flavoured milk tastes super awesome!! Try it to believe it! :D There are also other brands available in the market. However, i didn't managed to try them. :( Just a point to note, it's banana flavoured milk not banana milk. I know a lot of people like to lable this as banana milk but I think sometimes it come be a bit deceiving. at least I was deceived until... :P

3) 떡볶이 (ddeok bok ki)

This is seriously addictive! I could finish one pack at one go@ Amazing! During my visit to lotte mart, they had a 2mini-pack for 970won deal. Bought a lot of these home! :D

4) 옥수수차 (ok su su cha)
In Japan, my favourite tea is hojicha (oven-roasted tea). For Korea, hands-down winner is corn tea! :D Be careful when you buy the tea, as some brands might have it less flavour-ful. I always like my tea strong. So, I always get pretty disappointed when the tea bag is of low quality. >.<

5) 쿠크다스커피 (ku ki da si kall bi)

Yummy junk! LOL. Despite many raving about the market-o-brownies, I prefer this more. :D

6) 유자차 (yu ja cha)

Another amazing citron tea to die for! :D Like the corn tea, it's also have lots of good benefits.

I know it's difficult to read the labels since they are in korean. But I like to give some important warning to all buyers! Most citron tea bottle are transparent so have a look inside the bottle. Compare the different brand content and you might see some difference. First, the more citron you see inside the bottle, the better. My mom bought one bottle in our local store and there was more honey content than citron inside. SO, DO SOME COMPARISON, PEOPLE!

Visit: Amazing trickeye museum!

First thing first.

There's a discount coupon on the official Korean Tourism website. You can get 3000won discount! SO GET IT!! :D

I was really anticipating my visit there as there had been so many good reviews about it! True enough, it's an amazing experience inside. The museum is filled with interesting and eye-catching graphics. At the side of some 'stations', there will be advisory pictures to show you how to pose with the graphics.

While you may enjoy these things, there will be other tourists around as well. So, do prepare to spend at least a good 2 hours inside if you plan to enjoy every single piece in the museum.

The objective is to be as creative as possible to really have a good time. Be as expressive as ever! :)

The ticket to entering the trickeye museum is tied together with the ice museum. So cold~ The museum is much smaller than the trickeye museum. However, there is a slide for people to play with (if you can take the cold...)

With the trickeye museum ticket, you can get a discount at the love museum (B1) which is at located above the trickeye museum (B2). Unlike the sex museum in amsterdam or paris, this love museum is highly interactive. I think it's equally a must-go for adults. Might not be a good idea if you have kids with you.
